| compare | | public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2)(Code) | | Compare the two
Comparable Comparable arguments.
This method is equivalent to:
((Comparable)obj1).compareTo(obj2)
Parameters:
obj1 - the first object to compare
Parameters:
obj2 - the second object to compare negative if obj1 is less, positive if greater, zero if equal
throws:
NullPointerException - when obj1 is null, or when ((Comparable)obj1).compareTo(obj2) does
throws:
ClassCastException - when obj1 is not a Comparable,or when ((Comparable)obj1).compareTo(obj2) does |
| equals | | public boolean equals(Object object)(Code) | | Returns true iff that Object is
is a
Comparator Comparator whose ordering is
known to be equivalent to mine.
This implementation returns true
iff object.
Object.getClass getClass()
equals this.getClass().
Subclasses may want to override this behavior to remain consistent
with the
Comparator.equals(Object) contract.
Parameters:
object - the object to compare with true if equal

| getInstance | | public static ComparableComparator getInstance()(Code) | | Gets the singleton instance of a ComparableComparator.
Developers are encouraged to use the comparator returned from this method
instead of constructing a new instance to reduce allocation and GC overhead
